Captain Kirk's Log...

Today we 'celebrated' a few significant events

  • Four people completed one year at EmPower Research - we had the usual speeches ("we are thankful" etc..), some 'mithai' (yummm - as usual, the people caught enjoying these goodies most were the two Managing Partners :)), and a lot of clapping and cheering. Way to go, Arpita, Rajiv, Jo and Nash!
  • Mixed with the general bonhomie was a bit of sadness - we also announced a farewell to Dipraj. His speech, true to type, was a lovely song - we will certainly miss his melodious voice. All the best, Dipraj!
  • Our scribes were busy today - apart from the usual 50 plus reports we send out, 3 people contributed super articles - I certainly learnt a lot reading them - hope you do too! The articles can be found at http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=39684, http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=39064, http://www.americanchronicle.com/articles/viewArticle.asp?articleID=39375. Good going, Guru, Sharada, Prashanthi!
  • In the middle of the day, there was some 'extra curricular' excitement - some of the personal drivers were found involved in a brawl - it all got sorted out thanks to Prashanth's usual cool handling of the situation

Well, all in a day's work, right? Watch this space!
